Educação infantil e a política de fundos: como tem caminhado essa etapa educacional, em especial com a aprovação do Fundeb?

Abstract

This article explores partial results of interinstitutional research on the situation of basic education in Brazilian cities. In this case, we deal with the situation of early childhood education, the first stage of basic education, and its relations with Fundeb. When demonstrating the growth of enrollments, especially in pre-school, we dialogue with other aspects related to the quality of this education. Despite an enormous effort to increase the supply, regional, ethnic and economic inequalities persist. In any case, the significant expansion of vacancies encourages us to continue moving towards the conquest of Caqi and CAQ.
